Another Roseate in Tree

Just saw several comments about folks never seeing a Roseate Spoonbill in a tree. I thought I had posted mine but realized that I had not. So here's number two in a tree.

Taken at High Island Texas 11 May 2012

7D * EF 500mm F/4L IS * 1/1000 @ F/7.1 * ISO 400 * Gitzo Tripod Wimberly head

C & C welcomed

Great shot, we don't see many of these birds in this part of the world, thanks for sharing Dottie.

They nest in trees, so spend a great deal of time there.
Gorgeous image! Just what I was hoping for in Florida - but no luyck.
Excellent pose, true colours, fine detail, and nice BG.
My only suggestion would be to move him left, off of dead-center.

A Beauty Dottie

It seems like a rare view to look downward at them up in a tree. Nice wing position, great background.
